Bye Bye.

Fingers crossed skeuomorphism is dead in iOS.

Had to happen, iOS6 is nothing short of poor, its iOS5 but a bit worse, when you've got android moving in the opposite direction and jellybean "almost" there then something has to give.

I suspect forstall spent the year between 5 and 6 counting his cash and stock options.

Good riddance.

Looks like Ive will be getting his hands on the iOS user experience. Could prove an exciting update in the future.

I actually PMSLd at that pic (not actually, but I did laugh)

Not sure what to think of this. Forstall was bumming Jobs, so part me thinks this is a bad idea. Although being sensible, I think we all know iOS has gone stale and is quite frankly, f**king boring. The premise of Ive also controlling how the OS looks, fills me with optimism about the future of Apple. I'd love to see him as CEO, although he's probably a bit too soft.

Go Ive!

Even if Ive was the perfect candidate it would never happen as he's not American.
